Yea , the problem with hamsters is that as a general rule they prefer to sleep during the day & stay awake at night. This is why they tend to get a bit agitated if a kid tries to 'play' with them during the day & if disturbed they have a habit of biting, which I suppose is understandable, but hard to explain to kids.Hamsters don't like to be handled and can also give a nasty bite. If they want to give it lots of cuddles a hamster is not the best bet.

This may sound like a crazy suggestion but what about a rat? They are very intelligent and social and can be taught tricks. And a rat would be more robust then a hamster or gerbil.
My vote is for the rat too! Rabbits don't iteract with humans very well, so will be boring.
